Removing the veil of separation

[Ming the Merciful]

Maybe the beliefs in false certainties cause insecurity! It's a form of fear which is an illusion. Our personal self has a huge load of certainties, some of which remain unquestioned with inevitable death of course being one of the most ingrained certainties in the human psyche.

Interestingly, esoteric alchemy is not only about questioning the belief in certain death, it's a process for how to overcome death!

"In alchemy, nigredo, or blackness, means putrefaction or decomposition. Many alchemists believed that as a first step in the pathway to the philosopher's stone, all alchemical ingredients had to be cleansed and cooked extensively to a uniform black matter.[1]" - Wikipedia

"The philosopher's stone, more properly philosophers' stone ...  It is also called the elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality;[1]" - Wikipedia

Exoteric alchemy (the usual public meaning of alchemy) is generally about turning base metals into gold. In mystery schools alchemy is a process of personal transformation. So my radical idea may not be radical at all when moving into more esoteric circles.

A guess I have is that the yellow-ray body will inevitably die, while the green-ray body is the immortal one (Ra doesn't say that but I think it can be interpreted that way with Law of Confusion language). And that the blackening stage in alchemy is about burning down, decomposing the yellow-ray body so that the green-ray body can arise like a phoenix out of the ashes of the mortal yellow-ray body of flesh. As I wrote about earlier, I associate the green-ray body with a golden heart (kundalini red + heart chakra green = yellow = gold). And the key to transmuting the heart is the philosopher's stone.

Everything is in a state of change. Nothing remains the same. Once we accept that there is a constant Universal transition and an ongoing metamorphosis, then we lose our fear. We are a part of the Universe, and that change. What seems an eternity of time, is only a millisecond in the eyes of Brahma. Compare your life to a beetle. You live for eighty years, while the beetle lives a month. To the beetle, your life is eternal. Everything is relative, interconnected and interlinked and in the diversity there is a constant unity between all things.
